PWMA CrossOver Signal

Description

This was adapted from the "Power Weighted Moving Average" indicator created / uploaded by mfieza

Power Weighted / Weighted delta Indicator | Algorithmic Forex Trading | cTrader Community

This is a slightly better weighted moving average crossover in that you can vary the weight accordingly

What this does is give you earlier / later signals depending on the Power value (weight) chosen.

Please be aware that values for the H1 do not neccessarily apply to the D1 - you have find the best settings for your chosen timeframe

Please feel free to fine-tune the code and share your improvements (if any) on this portal.

Enjoy!

P.S

Theres also the Linear Weighted Moving Average indicator LWMA CrossOver Signal Indicator | Algorithmic Forex Trading | cTrader Community

Settings for the H1

 

Settings for the D1 (these settings are by no means holy) - find the combination that suits you best
